Hypothetisches Gebilde by Alicja Kwade

Polish born, Berlin based artist Alicja Kwade’s mixed-media works manipulate mental perceptions and physical experiences of how the body inhabits space and time. Kwade frequently uses imperfect doubling, mirror images, and repetition in her practice.The concept behind the artwork; “Formally, the work is inspired by the appearance of so-called wormholes. Wormholes are theoretical structures that connect two places or two dimensions in the universe. There is only the idea of its graphic representation, which makes something visible that is not visible. Wormholes connect parallel worlds. You can move around different dimensions in different forms without any encounters. In this work, Alicja illustrates this through the stone in different states.“
